The Electro-Harmonix 12AU7A / ECC82 Gold tubes are a gold-plated pin version of their very popular preamp tube. It is a premium quality 12AU7 tube built to match the performance of the military-industrial original GE 6189 tube. Low microphonics and excellent linearity offer a musical and harmonic soundstage, making this 12AU7 tube equal to the original and a cut above the competition.

The 12AU7 tube type is equivalent to the European ECC82 tube and can be used in any 12AU7 or ECC82 circuit.

Sounds great with my headphone amp

I recently purchased a Bravo Audio Ocean headphone amp, which came with a Shu Guang 12AU7 tube. It sounded fine, but I was shocked at how much the EH Gold 12AU7 tube improved the sound coming out of the amp. Before it was a bit muddy, but now it has a clear, warm tone.

Rogue Atlas Magnum tube rolling

I'm tube rolling different tubes in my Rogue Atlas Magnum. I'll keep this short: this is my favorite tube in the 12AU7 position. It is musical!
The other 12AU7 I like is the JJ 12AU7 Gold = cleaner with voices but not as musical.
